This bass sounds really great for the price, Squier has been killing it lately. I suppose you'll have to factor in the cost of lightweight tuners to cure the neck dive, and a pickup change (although I quite liked the aggressive tone of the ceramic) which would put this bass close to used Classic Vibe territory. I think it's worth it if you really like the color, plan to mod it, or just really want an 8lb P bass after a tuner swap.

Definitely worth it for the color alone! Thank you for this well said comment

@@Mat_Gomez23 the string stops vibrating at the nut. Sustain means the string is still vibrating. Can you explain to me how wrapping the non-vibrating portion of the string around a heavier post helps it to vibrate more?

Damn, that was some pretty solid camera work man. Solid looking bass too 👀

Great review. Very nice looking bass. Can't wait to hear how it sounds with some mods.

I love the color, and it definitely seems like a good deal for the price. Yes, you'll probably spend the same amount on a pickup upgrade, but then you still have a great looking and sounding bass for pretty cheap. (It's really nice that this comes with a satin finish on the back of the neck… I wouldn't have expected that.)

I'm the type that can't leave well enough alone so it's a great option for me because by the time I'm done the only original part left on it would be the green body

For that price it's great. Good modding platform and gives Harley Benton some competition. These are £160 here in the UK but I want that limited edition green. Waiting for new stock.

Right on! This bass definitely gives Harley Benton competition and would be a great comparison of the two in terms of price and quality 👏🏾

Love the Color

Yes. I used to own one; for the price it’s awesome.

On the road to 10K!!

Bought mine last weekend and it arrived today. The edge of the body has some finish damage that doesn’t affect the sound. If I can’t send it back for repair or replacement, I’m going to try to find somewhere local where I can get the finish repaired.

Fine review! I have the same model & color. Purchased directly from Fender when they had them for $199. I pretty much have the same response. The pickup is hot & has no finesse. Maximum P Bass Grunt! I've gigged mine about 6 times. Classic Oldie Rock. Ballsy but not Metal. The bass sounded OK & was capable of turning the air into cream cheese. Used much less live amp volume. Playability & set up were fine out of the box. Changed the strings to Thomastik flats. Almost like an old school P hard driving an Ampeg B15 amp. I want to swap the pickup out for a DiMarzio Model P. Yes! It's worth swapping the pickup out. This is a solid gigging workingman's P on a budget & a potential solid workhorse. Hard Rock,Metal & Punk players should find it useable as is. Great detailed honest review.🎉

I want one, I hope for an arctic white one. I have a black pickguard and a set of GFS P Bass pickups to do an easy swap

Well I bought one. I actually love the tone of the stock ceramic pickups! And playability is awesome. So smooth, great setup and zero fret buzz. Downside is the neck dive. It's awful. I might put a hi mass bridge on. Or look at different tuners. Worst case, I'll swap out the neck. Any suggestions?

That bass sounds excellent.

Never experienced any of that or ever heard of that happening to others that I know have bought these instruments. To say it’s true is a big stretch, these necks are solid

Me wants this. To bad it's sold out. Let me know if decide to sell it :D

For that price, it definitely doesn't sound that bad to me.

Please explain what's wrong with ceramic pickup?

@sonojon0

Can be very loud in terms of output, if you tend to play with a heavy hand you might cause the output to clip which can be detrimental in recording. I’d recommend ceramic for people that play with a lighter touch. Nothing wrong with ceramic pickups, they’re just not for my playing style
